Each parameter has a three-digit number and a description. The parameter can be accessed via Pfeiffer Vacuum control units or externally via RS-485 using Pfeiffer Vacuum protocol. The vacuum pump starts in standard mode with factory default pre-set parameters.

Operation 7 Operation 7.1 Configuring the connections with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set The electronic drive unit is pre-configured with the factory default basic functions and is ready for opera- tion. For individual requirements, you can configure most connections for the electronic drive unit with the parameter set.
Operation Setting the baud rate via DeviceNet 1. Switch the device off or disconnect it from the mains. 2. Set the selector switch to position "P". 3. Program the baud rate via DeviceNet object 3.1.2. (see chapter “DeviceNet object "Device- Net"”, page 22) After switching on, the device uses the last valid baud rate (on delivery: 500 kBit/s).
► Make sure that the gas mode is set correctly by [P:027] in the electronic drive unit. ► Consult Pfeiffer Vacuum before you use gases with higher molecular masses (> 80). High gas throughput and high rotation speed lead to strong friction heating of the rotor. To avoid over- heating, power to rotation speed characteristics are implemented in the electronic drive unit.
Operation P max [P:708] Fig. 5: Schematic diagram of power characteristics, example of heavy gases [P:027] = 0 Power consumption Power characteristic in gas mode "0" (gases with molecu- lar mass > 39, e.g. Argon) Rotation speed Power characteristic in gas mode "1" (gases with molecu- lar mass ≤...

Operation Rotation speed switch point 1 [P:017] = 0 f (%) [P:701] [P:010] [P:302] Process Fig. 6: Rotation speed switch point 1 active Adjusting rotation speed switch point 1 Signal output and status parameters are based on the set value for the rotation speed switch point 1 [P:701].
3. Check the set rotation speed (parameter [P:308] or [P:397]). 7.2.6 Standby Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends standby mode for the turbopump during process and production stops. When standby mode is active, the electronic drive unit reduces the rotation speed of the turbo pump.
Fluctuations in the power consumption of idling turbopumps and varying fore-vac- uum pressures of the backing pumps require individual settings of the interval operation. Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends interval operation between 5 and 10 hPa. A pressure gauge and a dosing valve are required to set the switching thresholds.
2. Use this signal for the control of a fore-vacuum safety valve. 7.2.9 Backing pump standby mode In case you are using a Pfeiffer Vacuum backing pump with rotation speed control, this can be used in standby mode by configuring the digital output [P:019] or [P:024]. The power consumption of the turbo- pump has a direct influence on the rotation speed of the backing pump.
The digital inputs at the "remote" connection are used to switch various electronic drive unit functions. As a factory default, inputs DI1 – DI2 have functions that you can configure with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set via DeviceNet or the RS-485 interface.
Operation Status Description Turbo pump motor on open Turbo pump motor off Tbl. 42: DI motor pump/pin 3 DI pumping station / Pin 4 Control of connected pumping station components (e.g. backing pump, venting valve, air cooling). If pin 3 (motor) is activated at the same time, the turbopump starts up. Any pending error messages are reset by eliminating the cause.
The digital outputs at the "remote" connection have a maximum load limit of 24 V/50 mA per output. All outputs listed below are configurable with the Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set via DeviceNet or the RS485 interface (description relates to factory settings).
► Connect only suitable devices to the bus system. A Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control unit (DCU or HPU) or an external PC can be connected via pins 24 and 25 of the electronic drive unit's "remote" connection. A USB interface (PC) can be connected via the USB/RS-485-converter.
7.6.1 Operating mode display via LED LEDs on the electronic drive unit show the basic operating states of the turbopump. A differentiated er- ror and warning display is possible in case of operations with the Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control panel.
Page 59
Operation ● In order to avoid switching off the turbopump, the electronic drive unit already reduces the power consumption in case of exceeding the warning threshold for excess temperature. ─ Examples are an impermissible motor temperature, or impermissibly high housing tempera- ture.
Warnings (* Warning F –––– *) do not cause components to be switched off. Handling malfunction messages 1. Read out error codes via Pfeiffer Vacuum control units or a PC. 2. Remove the cause of the malfunction. 3. Reset the malfunction message with parameter [P:009].
